A store surveillance camera captured an image of the man who reportedly tried – but failed – to rob the store at 511 S. Main Street Friday morning, January 24, 2014.

When he didn’t get any money, the man reportedly left the store in a small red car. The car was last seen on West Prospect Street.
No injuries were reported.
